- Which is NOT a physical property of alcohols or phenols? O Phenols are generally only slightly soluble in water. O The hydroxyl group of an alcohol is nonpolar. The solubilities of normal primary alcohols in water decrease with increasing molecular weight. Boiling points of normal primary alcohols increase with increasing molecular weight.arrow_forwardWhat functional group would be present in the product (the main organic product) of a reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid with an acid catalyst?arrow_forwardExplain the General Features of Reactions of Alcohols ?arrow_forward

- Write the complete equation for the dehydration reaction of the following alcohols. If more than one product can be formed, and one of the products is the major product, clearly indicate which one is the major product. If no dehydration reaction can occur, you must clearly indicate this by writing "no reaction" CH,CH, OH a. b.

Note that a hemiacetal formed from a ketone is also called a hemiketal; an acetal formed from a ketone is also called a ketal. 00 The product is a ketone. The product is a hemiketal. The product is an alcohol. The product is a ketal.arrow_forward
- When trans-2-chloro-1-cyclohexanol is treated with a base, cyclohexene oxide is the product. However, when cis-2-chloro-1-cyclohexanol is treated with a base, the product is cyclohexanone A.Write the equation for the reaction between trans-2-chloro-1-cyclohexanol and the base to yield the cyclohexene oxide B.Why doesn’t the cis isomer yield the oxide? C.Write the mechanism for each of the two reactions.arrow_forwardBoth aldehydes and ketones contain carbonyl groups. In aldehydes, the carbonyl carbon atom is bonded to a hydrogen atom, whereas in ketones, the carbonyl carbon atom is bonded to another carbon atom. Select the true statements about aldehydes and ketones. - Ketones have lower boiling points than alcohols of similar size. - Aldehydes contain a carbon–oxygen double bond. - Butanal has a higher boiling point than 2-butanol. - Aldehydes with more than five carbon atoms are soluble in water, but not organic solvents. - Both aldehydes and ketones can hydrogen bond with water molecules. - Propanal is a gas at room temperature, whereas formaldehyde (methanal) is a liquid at room temperature.arrow_forwardDifferentiate the three types of alcohols.
